NRG amp concerns

If you have a concern, ask the seller that you will buy it on the condition that a reputable tech gives it a clean bill of health. I would offer to pay for the test.

How much are you paying for it ?

They were impressively well made, I had one may years ago, sounded very good too.

If you don't have any measuring equipment, the easiest way to test it is by shorting the inputs with a RCA shorting plug, mount a 8 Ohm resistor over the speakers terminals and turn it on. Assuming that it stays on, let it sit for a few minutes then feel the resistors to make sure they have not heated up, if they stay cool you can hook up your system.

8 Ohm Resistor

The RCA Shorting plugs you can make from one of the presumably many pair of cheap wires you got with electronics over the years, cut off the plugs about 1" from the connector, strip the wire and twist the inner conductor together with the shield wire.

I am paying 350 dollars for the amp. I almost feel bad assuming it works. Seller told me its been sitting for 2 years in a controlled environment. When I saw it it looked very clean.

For $350 it is a no brainer...buy it!!!

For $350 its a screaming deal working or not, send it to me if its not working and Ill give you $350 for it :-)

Picked it up today. Could not test it. Its wired for 220.so I need to have it converted.

So do I run a 220 line or spend the money to convert it? This amp is a little out of my leaque. I have parasound,rotel,parDigm,unity audio, psaudio. No clue what to use for preamp. Just could not pass up the deal.

Can most likely be rewired for 120V Operation - where are you located ?

Good Listening

I am thinking about getting it switched over and perhaps trading it
